Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters — a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.

No complaints only praise forthe nursing staff and doctors. But the scheduling is inconsiderate at best. Had two procedures. I was told to be there at 8am for the first, 7am for the second. Each time I waited over 2 hours to even be registered. There is no excuse for this. The staff knows how long people will have to wait, why not show some caring and consideration and schedule timing more accurately. Everyone in the waiting room was complaining, yet it seems from other comments that the complaints go unheard. I do not know that I would chose to have anything done here again.

I had my first cataract surgery yesterday and while there is a wait when you get there, everyone is kind and considerate as there are a team of doctors performing many surgeries, so there will be a lot of patients waiting to be seen. Once inside, the team of nurses and doctors were thorough and informed. They worked hard to ensure I felt safe, seen, comfortable, and they could not have been more accommodating. I highly recommend this place to have your cataract surgery.

I was concerned after reading the reviews, but my experience at Bergen-Passaic Cataract Laser was wonderful. The receptionists were friendly and right in top of everything. Then intake person was also very nice and also efficient. The nurses in pre-op were just lovely and so caring, and my doctor (Dr Najarian) is amazing. I had an excellent experience here
